they have the same number of valence electrons
All the elements in the same column with the same number of valence electrons.
a family is a column of elements a period is a row of elements
There is at least one oxidation number shared by all the elements in a periodic table column, but some of the elements may have more than one oxidation number and some of these additional oxidation numbers may not be possible for all the elements in a column.
They are all in the same column (Group 7) of the periodic table and are also known as the halogens.
Chlorine and Bromine have similar properties. You can tell because they are in the same vertical column in the periodic table.
The electron configuration in the outer shell is the same for all of the elements in the same column. This results in some similar chemical properties between these elements in the same group (column).
All elements within a column are called a group.
they all have the same electrons.
All the elements in the same column with the same number of valence electrons.
Elements in the same column have similar chemical properties. They are from the same family.
This is probably a reference to the periodic table of the elements, which has columns. All the elements in a given column have the same configuration of valance electrons. There is a column of noble gases, a column of halogens, etc.
a family is a column of elements a period is a row of elements
No. It is not the same. the number of valence electrons are same for the elements in the same column (group).
there all metals, or nonmetals
Elements that are contained within the same column in the periodic table are known as a group. All of the elements in the first group of the table have one electron in their outer shell.
No, but elements in the same vertical columns have similar properties.
All elements a given column have the same number of valence electrons.
